Family dynamics are different. For instance, in the Chinese/Japanese culture parents take care of their children so they can take care of them in their old age. We practise the same here in Nigeria, and I don't fault that. I understand it puts pressure on the child and even the parent but that's life for the most part. A family is a unit and should work together.
People say it's the parent's responsibility to take care of the kids. Some parents don't; some parents abandon their kids or even give them up for adoption. It is a choice at the end of the day.
I am currently fending for my 4 siblings at my expense. It is difficult most time and I want to quit but then again I love my siblings and I understand my mum doesn't have the finances to take care of them. I could be indifferent about this and just move on with my life because I don't owe them that much, but at the same time I feel a huge sense of responsibility as the first child and I do want to see my people grow.
So like I said, finance dynamics are quite different.
Wow... you are taking such responsibilities at your will, because you are thoughtful, and for the love of your family and not because it's your responsibility. Any thoughtful child will do so but it becomes wrong when parents make it look like it's the responsibility of the first child to cater for the other siblings because of he has been nurtured up to adulthood. However there's nothing wrong in children assisting their parents any time including in their old age
